Blood, blood, we want blood. Wednesday is the big blood clotting, er - - collecting day. The mixed lounge will serve as the "draining

The University of Alberta, Calgary, this week rolled out the red carpet to welcome Kenya-born
George Mweigi, (pronounced Moocheegee) to UAC. Mr. Mweigi is presently on a cross-country tour of
Canadian universities, and will be stopping at UAC as guest of the university NFCUS chapter.
He is working in his second year toward a Master's Degree in arts at the University of Toronto.
UAC Principal Dr. M. G. Taylor told the Gauntlet "^George Mweigi is on« of the most outstanding
students it was my privilege to have in my graduate seminar at Toronto. He represents the new type
of young leader emerging in Africa. His own rapid development from boyhood in a small village near
Nairobi to sophisticated graduate student and friend of political leaders in Africa and Canada reflects
the accelerated emergence of the African colonies to full nationhood. What impressed me more about
George was not only that he worked his way through university but that he has done so much to
see that other African students have come to Canada too. 4 am proud to have him as a guest of the
university and I know that all the students will be delighted to rdeet and talk with him."
Mr. Mweigi was a student in Professor Taylor's courses in Comparative Government and Public
Administration at U. of T. last year. He received his B.A. at St. Frances Xavier University in Nova
Scotia, and has been a dynamo in bringing more African students to come to Canadian Uniersities.
Macleans magazine recently carried this
Fourteen young Africans from Kenya and Tanganyika enrolled at a dozen Canadian universities late
last month; they were a splinter group of the 290
students flown to this continent by the "Kennedy Airlift." In' New York they were met by George Mweigi
(Moi-shay-gee), a 28-year-old Kenyan postgraduate
student at the University of Toronto. Foot of them
were depending on an organization called the African
Students Fund of Canada, which Mweigi had started.
He was to guide all fourteen into Canada.
The African Students Fund has set up a formal
organization with 25 members and a ten-man executive. They hope to be able to bring 100 students a
year to Canada from "all over Africa . . . French-
speaking as well as British areas."
As I walked home later, I found myself thinking
of George Mweigi at five o'clock Saturday morning
irÀthe shabby suite in the New Yorker.
He was brutally tired and had become annoyed at
what he regarded as my personal questions. And I
had become annoyed at what I regarded as his
evasive answers. He stood up and went to a small *
map. of British East Africa that someone had pinned
to the wall. I rose and followed him. It was a tourist
map, dotted With embarrassingly cute cartoons of
elephants and giraffes.
"This is where I was born," he said, indicating a
town about 25 miles from Nairobi, "and this is the
Rift Valley, which runs right through my country."
Behind us there was the noise of the endless traffic
on New York's Eighth Avenue.
"In this area," he said, circling Kenya, Tanganyika and Uganda with a pencil, "are twenty-five million people. One and a half times the population of
Canada in an area as large as Western Europe. There
is - only one small degree-granting college, smaller
than Acadia. If I had the power, I could wipe out
illiteracy in this area overnight" k

The comparison will be on a
sliding scale and the old standby "we are only a young university with a small population"
will have to be abandoned since
we'll have as good a chance as
any other university at winning
the cup.
